7Go and say to Jeroboam, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: Because I raised you up from among the people and made you ruler over my people Israel,’

8and I tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you. But you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments and who walked after me with all his heart, to do only what was right in my eyes.

9and have done evil above all who were before you. You went and made for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke me to anger, and you have cast me behind your back.
